Flotilla organisers hail resolve of last vessel still sailing towards Gaza
In a post on Instagram, the Global Sumud Flotilla says the vessel Marinette is still sailing despite Israel’s interception of the other ships. “And she refuses to turn back,” the group said. “This isn’t just a ship. Marinette is sumud — steadfastness in the face of fear, blockade, and brutality.”
The flotilla organisers added that “Gaza is not alone.”
“Palestine is not forgotten. We are not going anywhere.”
